Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9826946A1] Method for detecting where on a vehicle a particular wheel (2) with a pneumatic tyre is located, the air pressure of which is monitored by a tyre pressure checking device. The wheel (2) in question is provided with a source of power, a pressure probe, a transmitting antenna and a transmitter, which transmits tyre pressure readings obtained from the pressure probe, and an identification element of the wheel (2), which is distinguishable from the identification elements of the other wheels of the vehicle, to a central receiving and processing circuit (5) that is connected with an antenna (6). The places on the vehicle where wheels (2) could be located are characterized by a component (4) which is fitted in the vicinity of the given wheel (2) and which is provided with an identification element which characterizes the relevant place in the vehicle, and which is communicated to the transmitter by wireless interaction between the component (4) and the antenna on the adjacent wheel (2), and is transmitted from the transmitter to the central receiving and processing circuit (5).
